At a cost of $641, the San Francisco 49ers now have the highest estimated price in the NFL for a family of four to attend a game.The 49ers begin play this season at $1.2 billion Levi's Stadium in suburban Santa Clara, near San Jose.

The Fan Cost Index published by sports business publication Team Marketing Report includes parking, four average-priced tickets, two programs, two beers, two hats, four soft drinks and four hot dogs.

Rising to the top shouldn't come as a surprise to 49ers fans, as the new Levi's Stadium -- which had personal seat licenses ranging from $2,000 to $80,000 per seat -- was the key contributor to the rise. The average ticket price of a general seat (excluding club seats or suites) rose 40 percent in a year to $117 per seat, per game.

That ticket is the second-most expensive in the league, behind only the New England Patriots, whose average ticket price is $122 this year, TMR says.

TMR says that the Dallas Cowboys keep the title of the most expensive team parking spot at $75. The Arizona Cardinals, at 60 cents an ounce, have the most expensive beer, while the most expensive hot dog can be found in Oakland at a cost of $6.75.

The cheapest team parking is $11 at Detroit Lions games. The Cincinnati Bengals, at 36 cents an ounce, have the least expensive beer, and the cheapest hot dog is in New England, where the Patriots charge $3.75.

4. Cowboys $110.20

8. Ravens $100.19

Meh, that is based on average ticket pricing. The expensive seats greatly impact that.

It has $500+ for a Saints game. It costs less than $200-250 for 5 of us to go

The cheapest parking is $0 near at least 24 NFL stadiums. Just wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately. The bar 4 blocks away from virtually every NFL Stadium has the cheapest beer at 15 cents an ounce, Any NFL stadium has the cheapest vodka drink, at $2 per shot (purchased at the liquore store and snuck in via the patron's underpants) and the cheapest hot dog is at home before the game or at a bodega 5 blocks from the stadium for $2. Because almost anybody can manage to go 4 hours between meals if money is really this tough to come by.


FIFY - hope this doesn't come across as snarky but there are ways to economize and still have a fantastic, drunken great time. I go to about 5 NFL games per year and quite often I don't spend a dime other than the ticket and what I sneak in or eat before/after the game.

Yeah but that doesn't count the price you have to pay to get your car towed when you come back after the game and find it on blocks...

Nobody played the Free Market Card yet? Wow.

I get what's going on and I get what they're saying, but this growing disconnect between teams and their most loyal, blue collar fans is going to bite them in the arse at some point, I would think.

I know, everybody in the Bay Area's filthy rich and it doesn't even matter, right? The po-folks are Raiders fans.

Buying programs and hats and shite. No.

Saints game: Park for free and walk, don't buy shite there. Done.

Did they sell out season tickets?

Are they being sold for more on stubhub?

Why shouldn't the teams get the money instead of the Alejandros

The lowest priced season ticket for most teams ranges from $19 per game (Cleveland Browns) to around $80 per game (New England and 49ers).

There are a multitude of individual games that you can get for way cheaper than that (Buccaneers at Browns - regular season game. A Cleveland family could likely secure 4 tickets to this game for $40 if not less once the Browns start out 2-4).

This is why the Cowboys are so evil. Arlington exists solely to house the Rangers, Cowboys, and Six Flags. there is alsmot nothing local, and no city neighborhood nearby. You have to pay to park, as there are literally, no free lots within a mile of the stadium. Heck, you can find a $20 lot, and it is stil over a mil walk to the stadium. And you still have no place to buy beer or some cool local bar.

It's a city designed to perpetuate the racket. The Cowboys are Arlington's mealticket, so they bend over backwards to screw the consumer and help Jerry out... or get their cut, too.

EDITED TO ADD: You could pay $29 and get standing room tickets that have NO VIEW OF THE FIELD, but a seat in the 400 section ranges from $125 to $450. that's right, a seat in the top level can cost you $450.

They provide dedicated WIFI to each seating section in the stadium. Also Google designed an app to streamline the queuing process of bathroom lines and food/beverage purchases straight to your seat.

Also the app allows you to see the replays on your phone.

Everyone likes to bash it for some reason, but it's been well received by the actual fans in attendance.
